Output error from cart items

Question

I'm getting an error when trying to call a channel entries tag from inside of {items}. If I remove the channel entries it's fine:

{exp:store:checkout}

    {items}

        {exp:channel:entries}
            {title}
        {/exp:channel:entries}

    {/items}

{/exp:store:checkout}

The error is just a notice, but an error nonetheless:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined property: EE::$typography

Filename: core/EE_Output.php

Line Number: 308

Fatal error: Call to a member function parse_type() on a non-object in /Sites/mysite.com/source/ee/expressionengine/core/EE_Output.php on line 308

Any suggestions?

This is on EE 2.7.2, latest Store.

Answer 1

When you are looping through the items in your cart/checkout tags you should add entry_id="{entry_id}" to the channel entries tag as the {items} will allow you to output the entry_id of items in the cart. Your template should look something along the lines of:

{exp:store:checkout}
    {items}

        {exp:channel:entries entry_id="{entry_id}" limit="1" dynamic="no"}
            {title}
        {/exp:channel:entries}

    {/items}
{/exp:store:checkout}

Having said that you do not need to use a channel entries loop to get the title, url_title and a bunch of other product related info (you can see the entire list here). You only need to use the channel entries loop if you are trying to grab information that you have stored in other custom fields (images, descriptions, etc).

Answer 2

Try moving your {exp:channel:entries} into an embed template like this.

In your main template use:

{exp:store:checkout}
    {items}
        {embed="store/items"}
    {/items}
{/exp:store:checkout}

In your embed template use:

{exp:channel:entries dynamic="no"}
         {title}
{/exp:channel:entries}

*** rename "store" to your correct template group name
